Every species in the region is covered in full detail, with a color distibution map for resident and migrant birds. All species are illustrated on a spectacular series of 124 colour plates by leading bird artists John Gale and Brian Small, with concise species text opposite the plates. The species are arranged to keep the key species of the various archipelagos together in sections.

This major work of is a stunning combination of scholarship and beauty. Authoritative yet pocket-friendly, it's an essential addition to the backpack of any visiting naturalist or birder, anywhere in the region.
